Zytel Handles
A nylon polymer that is lightweight and extremely durable, Zytel can be shaped and textured to provide excellent grip.

I recently purchased this knife block and I get happy just looking at it! The knives slice and dice to perfection and do every thing the manufacturers state they will do. The bread knife just melts through the bread and slices tomatoes.....no worries!When I hold it in my hand it is not heavy, just enough weight to do it's job and I find it very comfortable. I love everything about the knife set and I would purchase this brand of knives again.
